The independent study, “Meditation & Business Leadership,” will be guided by HBS Prof. Sandra Sucher. Here, Singhal is quoted in an article in The Harbus, Harvard’s independent newspaper:

Suken and I aim to look into whether meditation can help business leaders increase self-awareness, mental clarity, focus and emotional intelligence. It is often also claimed that meditation helps a leader develop more authenticity, tolerance and empathy, which leads to a greater sense of belongingness and responsibility for the communities they live and work in.

We hope to gain some insights via a review of academic and popular literature, interviews with business leaders who practice meditation, and by meditating ourselves over the course of the semester to examine any impact.
